Escambia County Fire Rescue has placed an additional red bulb on the “Keep the Wreath Green” fire safety wreath, bringing the total to eight residential structure fires so far during December. Last year’s campaign concluded with 13 red bulbs.
The eighth residential fire of December occurred in the 5800 block of Penny Lane on Sunday about 3:$5 a.m. One apartment was a total loss, and the adjoining apartment was vacant but had moderate smoke and water damage.
The occupant was able to escape the fire, but was transported by Escambia County EMS to a local hospital for treatment.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
